    Fab video Ziggy! I couldnt tell from his accent where Henry Thurston was from.

    Its like a hybrid of Bajan/ American via Somerset.


    I went back up to the site and left seven foxgloves in small pots which should flower next year. And also some shasta daisies and lily of the valley which I was going to throw on the compost.

    :scratch: From his accent Melinda & what he grows I would say Jamaica or at least one of the Caribbean islands..... :thumb: I have many friends out there with similar gardens... Well done Ziggy for finding that clip...

    :wink: I hope you planted your plants Melinda as that is what Gorilla gardening is about... :wink: Well done you.. :gnthb:

    I didnt think his accent sounded Jamaican at all! Bajan or Trinidadian perhaps- there is definitely a softish lilt to it.


    I was too nervous to actually plant anything MF! It didnt feel like my place to do it, so I just left the plants in a bag with a note!

    I might take up some salad and herbs if I can find some time over the weekend. Im racing much of tomorrow.

    Glad you liked it :thumb: I thought he was welsh/somerset. Fantastic plot. wish my chillis were doing as well.

    "I & I & I alone,
    Walked down creation,
    Babylon to the left of I,
    Babylon to the right of I,
    Babylon in front of I & Babylon behind I,

    I & I & I alone, walked down creation."

    Remind me, was that Dylan Thomas ?

    You got a garden in Jamaica Marley ? Wow, bet that takes some watering, most of us only have allotments :wink: Got any pics ?:)

    :scratch: Sorry I cannot remind you if it was Dylan Thomas.. The words actually sound much more like a Prince Far I song to me Ziggy, but he died back in the 70's & althouh have allot of his music I still couldn't say...... :wink:
